The fingerprint reader, that element that came to revolutionize smartphones and that today is nothing more than an element to which we are looking for some really practical utility. It's supposedly safer than swiping to unlock the screen, but it's not as practical. That is why it continues to improve in this field, and the Samsung Galaxy S8 it would be the first smartphone to include an optical fingerprint reader.

New generation fingerprint reader

We have already seen different types of fingerprint readers. We have seen them better and worse. We have seen them on the front of the mobile, and in the back section. Even under the smartphone. However, the truth is that these fingerprint readers end up generating problems in their operation, they give errors, and they do not read the print well over time due to its deterioration. Ultrasonic readers are supposed to be able to solve this problem, and the Xiaomi Mi 5S already includes one of this type. And we thought that would be the case with the new Samsung flagship, but no. Now comes new information that tells us that the Samsung Galaxy S8 will feature an optical fingerprint reader, which would be better than ultrasonic, more accurate and faster. And being optical, it can't get dirty and stop working properly.
